Prostatic inflammation is characterized by a chronic or acute course. Such pathologies usually occur against the background of low-pressure congestion, microtraumatic injuries, infections or penetration of pathogens into the urethra. It is perfectly acceptable to treat chronic prostatitis at home, but only under the supervision of specialists.
Therapy for chronic prostatitis can take up to several months, during which patients are advised to take prescribed medications, undergo physiotherapy and massage procedures.
Features of chronic prostatitis
Prostatic inflammation of the chronic form occurs quite often in men 25-50 years of age. This form of pathology is characterized by periodic exacerbations and remission periods, which constantly replace each other.
- Sometimes inflammation has an infectious origin, developing as a result of damage by bacterial pathogens. The vital activity of these bacteria negatively affects the prostatic tissues, destroying them.
- There is also non-infectious prostatitis, which is caused by low-basal congestion and other factors. One of the non-infectious prostatic forms is congestive prostatitis, which occurs against the background of congestion.
- Chronic prostatic inflammation is accompanied by rather unpleasant symptomatic manifestations such as frequent and painful urination, weakening of erectile function, lack of orgasm, or pain in the abdomen and perineum.
- But it happens that the pathology develops secretly, and manifests itself already at the stage of exacerbation after the chronicity of the inflammatory process.
It is completely impossible to cure chronic prostatitis, but it is quite possible to keep the pathology under control so that it remains in remission for a long time. If an exacerbation occurs, then it is necessary to use drug therapy and home methods.
How to get rid of pain during an attack
Prostate inflammation is treated by a specialist in urological practice, who prescribes the necessary medications and physiotherapy procedures.
